I started my day at Boonrat Dim Sum (https://goo.gl/maps/gzi4yu2ZTCkmXwty9) a multi-generational shop specializing in the famous Cantonese breakfast favourite. It s the Thai influence which makes this Phuket dim sum nothing like in Canton. Point and choose what delightful morsel of steamed goodness you prefer, generously apply house sauce and enjoy! Millennial Thai s love a good cafe. I popped into Dou Brew (https://goo.gl/maps/HeGtPKCNqgCeTXV77) a cafe specializing in craft chocolate. They ve got plenty of options for your sweet tooth including coffee and chocolate creations such as the craft dirty. A double shot on cold milk served in an almond chocolate rimmed glass. Totally recommend! If you re a noodle lover than you can not leave Phuket without trying Mee Hokkien. Somchit Noodle House (https://goo.gl/maps/3PyhDDnt4CGaA9Pe9) is serving a bowl of simplicity at its finest. Thick hokkien noodles served with generous toppings of pork, shrimp and wontons. Perfectly paired with a light broth to be seasoned at your table. This is a must-try! After filling up I rode out to Wat Chaiwatthanaram (https://goo.gl/maps/sxQXfweUXbLLPE5b9) a complex of buddhist temples famous in Phuket. It is stunningly ornate and quite peaceful despite the crowds. Try to go early or late to avoid the heat. O-Tao is a Phuketian scrambled egg with taro and oysters. Unique to the island, this dish is loved by locals. I went to O-Tao Ji Pien (https://goo.gl/maps/NWumyhkpTSB4ZtMDA) where Chinese New Year orders had this 70 year shop working at top speed. I watched for over an hour as the chef methodically prepared o-tao for the masses. In the end I neither loved it nor hated it. It was really spicy. Every Sunday in Phuket Town along Thanon Thalang you can find a pedestrian-only pop-up night market. The Sunday Walking Street Market (https://goo.gl/maps/pFasAvaMhGuFdkMY8) has shops selling everything a tourist wants to take home for their friends and family, all sandwiched between street food carts and hawkers. Try the rolled ice cream made at ninja speed by one of the many desert stalls. It is surprisingly good quality ice cream!! ___________________ I m Luke Martin, food lover and world traveller!
